L's POV

I first saw her in high school. Her beauty stood out from the crowd. Really pretty.

Her laughter are like music to my ears and her smiles make my heart race really fast.

I remember when I first talked to her. It was more of an accident, actually.

 

'Oh' someone said as I bumped into her.

'Oh, I'm sorry about that' I apologised and helped her carry her books on the floor.

I looked at her. I froze. Its her. Im Yoona.

'You are Kim Myungsoo from my class, right?' she asked, smiling at me.

'Yes' I managed to say out.

'Oh.. That's right! Jessica is totally crazy about you.. Give her a chance, alright?' she asked me.

'O-okay' I stuttered out.

'Look, I'm not forcing you or anything. Its your choice' she explained herself.

I just stared at her face.

She looked at my name-tag.

'L? Your nickname?' she asked.

i nodded.

'Woah! So cool!' she complimented.

I could feel my heart beat race.

'Yoona! Who are you talking to?' her boyfriend Taecyon suddenly interrupted our conversation and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.

'My classmate. L' she introduced me to her.

'Oh, okay, hi. Let's go Yoona' he said, glaring at me.

'Okay, Bye L.. See you around!' she greeted me as they left.

 

Things had gotten better after that.

We started to talk in class. But that's all. Friendship.

Then one day..

A hand pushed me against a locker door.

'You. I see you flirting with my girlfriend again and you're dead meat. Understand?' Taecyeon warned me.

'I'm not flirting with her' I defended myself.

'You really want me to beat you up?' he threatened.

'No.. I don't even like her' I replied

'Then who do you like then?' he asked.

'No one' I replied

'Don't lie'

'Really'

'Then don't talk to my girl again' he fumed.

'Fine, fine.. Jessica' I replied.

 

It turned out, Jessica is his cousin and Yoona and him tried to matchmake us.

We went on double-dates.

But in my heart is only one person - Yoona.

 

That day when Yoona and Taecyeon broke up.

She came to me crying.

I really wanted to beat that guy up.

And he showed up in front of us with a new girl, Hyuna, showing off intimacy.

That was when I hugged her for the first time.. and the last.

 

We graduated.

We lost contact.

The last thing I know, an invitation came to my house.

 

Hello L!

Do you remember me? Yoona?

Maybe not. But if you do, thanks for being there for me that day.

You're a really great guy.

Oh yeah, you are invited to my wedding.

I attached the invitation to this note.

Lots of love,

Yoona :)

 

I was destroyed.

 

But I still came for the wedding anyway.

'L!' she shouted as she made her way to me.

'Hello Yoona; I replied back, my heart beating wildly, the same as years ago.

'How are you?' she asked.

'Fine. And you?' I asked back.

'Doing good' she replied.

'I know I already thanked you in the letter but I want to thank you again in person. Thanks for being with me that day. To be honest, I fell for you then. But it is also thanks to you that I met my husband-to-be, Yunho. He encouraged me to try on love again. Thank you' she said.

I could not feel anything.

The feeling of bitterness has paralysed my feelings.

'Congratulations' I said before shaking her hand.

Her hand. Possibly the last time I'm touching it. It was delicate. I want to hold it forever.

But I can't.

 

For every step she took down the aisle, the urge for me to get her is becoming stronger.

And when they kissed, I felt.. I can't even describe it.

I felt destroyed.

 

I went home that day sad, rejected, lonely. But one thing will remain. I love you Im Yoona.
